Terrible Surgical Operation.
A FATAL MISTAKE.

The Cleveland (Ohio) Press, OF
February 23d, 1883, published an
account of a fatal surgical opera
ton which caused great COM
motion among medical men
throughout the whole country,
DR., Thayer, the most eminentsur-
geon in Cleveland, pronouncing
it scandalous. 1t appears that a
Mrs. King had been suffering for
many years from some disease of
the stomach, which had resisted
the treatment of all the physic-
ians in attendance. The disease
commenced with a slight derange-
ment of the digestion, with a poor
appetite, followed by a peculiar
indescribable distress in the stom-
ach, a feeling that has been de-
scribed as a faint all gone" SEN
sation, a sticky slime collecting
about the teeth, causing a disa-
greeable taste. This sensation
was not removed by food, but,
on the contrary, it was increased
After a while the hands and feet
became cold and sticky-a cold
perspiration. There was a con-
slant tired and languid feeling
Then followed a dreadful nerv-
BUSINESS, with gloomy forebod-
ings. Finally the patient was
unable to retain any food what.
ever, and there was constant
pain in the abdomen. All pre-
scribed remedies failing to give
relief, a consultation was held
when it was decided that the
patient had a cancer in the stom.
ach, and in order to save the
patients life an operation was
justifable. Accordingly, on the
22d of February, 1883, the op-
Grafton was performed by DR.
Vance in the presence Of DR.
Tuckerman, DR.. Perrier, DR.
Arms, DR.. Gordon, DR.. Capner
and DR.. Halliwell of the Police
Board. The operation consisted
in laying open the cavity of the
abdomen and exposing the stom.
ach and bowels. When this hao
been done an examination Of the
organs was made, but to the hor.
ror and dismay of the doctors
there was no cancer to be found.
The patient did not have a can
Ger. When too late the medical
men discovered that they had
made terrible mistake but
they sewed the parts together
and dressed the wound that they
had made, but the poor woman
sank from exhaustion and died
in a few hours. How sad it must
be for the husband of this poor
woman to know that his wife
died from the effects of a sur.
gical operation that ought never
to have been performed. If this
woman had taken the proper
remedy for Dyspepsia and Ner-
vous Prostitution flor this was
what the disease really was, she
would have been living to-day,
SHAKER EXTRACT OF RooTs, OF
SE1GEL's CURATIVE SYRUP, a rem.
edy made expressly for Dyspep-
STA or Indigestion, has restored
many such cases to perfect health
after all other kinds of treatment
have failed. The evidence of its
efficacy in curing this class Of
cases is too voluminous to be
published here but those who
read the published evidence in
favor of this dyspeptic remedy
do not question its convincing
nature, and the article has an
extensive sale.

RECEIPT FOR MAKINGA GOOD WILL

Intelligent people, particularly
erudite and experienced lawyers,
are not always successful in making
wills that will hold. Long. headed
judges have little better success.
Some OF the most eminent jurists in
this country and in England have
left wills in which fatal flaws were
picked with very little trouble. Our
distinguished countryman, the late
Samuel J. Tilden, thought he knew
what he wanted to say and how to
say 1t in his will, yet 1T is believed
that a big hole will DE knocked in
that instrument before the contes.
tants get through with it. ai.l
Here, however, IS the will of a
plain, illiterate woman of Pitts
burgh. and the Register gives the
opinion that though it isn't a hand.
some document, it will hold: .st

sufficient testimony to warrant a conclusion that an
